[1]Lenin’snote to Krasin, People’s Commissar for Trade and
Industry, was written in connection with a report by W. 
Jastrzembski, a former leader of the Polish Socialist Party, who was
then in Russia, on the results of his journey to Warsaw
undertaken to explore the possibility of establishing trade and cultural
relations between the Soviet Republic and Poland. Owing to the
resistance of the Right-wing leaders of the Polish Socialist Party,
his mission was unsuccessful. Despite this Lenin was in favour
of continuing negotiations.
